What is 5 2/4 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 2/4 as a decimal is
5.5
Exact, terminating: 2/4 = 1/2 · denominator 2 has only 2s and 5s · 1 decimal place
5 2/4: whole part, then 2 ÷ 4
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 4 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 5 × 4 + 0 | 5 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 1 step → 0.5 ends.
5 + 0.5 = 5.5
